Cycling day trip from Praga Południe to Otwock

Looking for an easy escape from city life? Jump on your bike in Praga Południe, a lively Warsaw district known for its green spaces and relaxed vibe, and head south toward Otwock. The route is about 26 km, mostly on paved surfaces (you’ll love the nice mix of asphalt and smooth paving stones), and pretty flat—ideal for a leisurely ride.

You’ll follow a mix of cycleways and peaceful paths, and barely touch any busy roads. As you leave the city bustle behind, the landscape shifts to small-town charm and wooded stretches, with only a gentle ascent along the way. Otwock itself is famous for its pre-war wooden Świdermajer-style architecture and pine forests—perfect for a refreshing break.

It’s an approachable ride for all levels, so whether you’re out for weekend exploration or just looking to stretch your legs, you’ll head from urban cool to suburban tranquility in no time!
